In terms of the narrative, though, Abby didn’t seem one of the most likely killers.
Specifically,the Winbury children would only get their trust fund money when the youngest child turned 18.

Conception doesn’t guarantee a birth, for various reasons, so this would be a bit odd.

In fact,Merritt’s death in the bookwas quite different.
Indeed,The Perfect Couplegave Abby an entirely different arc, turning her into a true murderer.
This also means that the show invented the motive that created speculation about the show’s possible plot hole.
As the investigation unfolds, every member of the wedding party becomes a suspect, unraveling secrets and lies.
Starring Nicole Kidman, Liev Schreiber, and Dakota Fanning, the series promises intense drama and mystery.
